Description
Network address
In order for the radios in a network to communicate with each other, they
must be assigned the same network address.
If another ENCOM 900 MHz radio network was located next to an existing
network, and both networks were using the same network address, there
would be an opportunity for the two networks to interfere with each other.
To prevent this, each of these networks should be assigned different
network addresses.
Unit address
The unit address is used to identify the radios in the network. Each radio
in the network should be assigned a different number.
By convention, the master is assigned a network address of 0. The
remaining repeaters and remotes are assigned addresses between 1 and
254.

Description
Output power
Select the power at which the radio will transmit.
ENCOM 900 MHz serial radios have very sensitive receivers that can
operate at very low signal levels. It is recommended that the lowest power
output necessary for a reliable connection be used. This will help with
power consumption, and will prevent unnecessary interference with other
devices operating within the same frequency band.
To determine the optimum power output, you should use the
tool provided by ENCOM PULSE Link. Start with the highest
power level, and decrease it until the signal strengths shown are between
-40 and -90 dBm for both radios.
RF noise filter
The RF noise filter is used to improve radio performance when operating
in a noisy RF environment.
When enabled, the RF noise filter will introduce about 6 dB of loss in the
received signal strength. Because of this, the effective range of the radio
will be shortened.
